[Gta04-owner] (GTA04A3 only...) GPS fixing trouble

[Neil Jerram]

So as not to worry any GTA04A4 (potential) subscribers, please note that
this email concerns an A3 (early adopter) board only.

Sadly, and after a very valiant attempt by a work colleague of mine who
knows how to wield a soldering iron, I still haven't managed to install
the replacement GPS antenna switch.  My colleague managed to remove the
old switch and install the new one quite quickly, but examination then
showed that two of the pins were shorted together.  He tried wicking
some of the solder between those pins, but that didn't work, so we
decided to desolder the whole switch again.  The switch was removed,
cleaned up and saved up, but unfortunately during that process one of
the pads (the bottom left one, relative to the writing on the switch)
detached from the PCB.  Now therefore, I think what's needed is to
reconstruct that pad, reconnecting it to the PCB line, and then to
install the switch again.

Is there anyone who can possibly help fix this for me, or recommend
someone who could help?  I'd be very happy to send my GTA04A3 anywhere
it might need to go, and cover all postage and reasonable costs.

Many thanks!
